#27 Intromit

Rosa's Tortilla Factory & Cafe
Coppell, TX

Intromit was the word of the day on dictionary.com. I like the word, because it rhymes with vomit. Kind of like an onomatopoeia word. It means to accept, concede and suffer. All of which I've been doing for the sake of this blog. 


I've passed by this restaurant many times on Route 121 Ft. Worth bound. With a beautiful new building and a name like Rosa's Tortilla Factory, I was expecting big things. We went last Saturday for a post-wrestling tournament late lunch. The best thing about it was the festive interior with ceramic painted tiled tables, brightly painted walls and a glass enclosure that showed someone making homemade tortillas.. Traditional Mexican ceramic animals hung on the wall.  In reality, it is a glorified take out restaurant. (My first clue should have been the drive-thru express lane, which was packed with waiting cars.) I'm a bit suspicious about take-out instant food. Call me 
radical, but a five-minute food guarantee seems a bit at odds with an "authentic" Mexican food experience as promised by the restaurant's advertising. 

I had a bland guac salad with chips that might have been fresh at one time. Salsa was non-descript. My son had pinto bean and cheese burritos. My husband had chicken soft tacos. The old adage--you get what you pay for is true. We all ate for $18. In my case, I would rather not waste my calories for a substandard meal. My husband said the best part was the price. Clearly others agree as evidenced my the long drive-thru line.
